Who QualiGrant is for
QualiGrant helps any team decide whether a grant is worth pursuing before writing. Pick the situation that fits, or see how the evaluation works.
Who uses QualiGrant
QualiGrant is used by teams that have already found a grant, RFP, NOFO, or funding opportunity and need to decide whether it is worth pursuing before committing to a full application. Instead of reading a long solicitation line by line, you upload the document, add a short profile of your organization and project, and get a structured review of eligibility, fit, complexity, risks, and a clear go/no-go recommendation.
The same evaluation works for nonprofits, universities and research teams, grant consultants, municipalities, small businesses, and school districts. What changes is the context each team brings and the kinds of opportunities they review, not the evaluation itself.

How to choose the right use case
Each use case page speaks to a specific team and the questions it tends to ask before applying. Pick the one closest to your situation. If your team fits more than one, it does not matter which you start from, because the underlying evaluation is the same. Consultants and shared-services teams often review opportunities on behalf of several organization types and can use any of the pages as a starting point.
Compare use cases at a glance
| Team | Grants they usually review | What they check before committing |
|---|---|---|
| Nonprofits | Federal and foundation grants, RFPs | Eligibility, mission fit, match or cost share, and staff capacity |
| Universities and research | Federal research grants, NOFOs, SBIR/STTR | Topic fit, principal investigator and partner rules, scope, and sponsored-programs burden |
| Grant consultants | Any client opportunity | Client fit, effort versus likelihood, and which opportunities to recommend pursuing |
| Municipalities | Federal and state funding, government RFPs | Eligibility, community priorities, and reporting or administrative burden |
| Small businesses | SBIR/STTR and small-business grants | Eligibility, business and technology stage fit, and proposal burden |
| School districts | Education grants, federal and state funding | Eligibility, program fit, and finance or administrative lift |

Frequently asked questions
Which use case should I choose if my team fits more than one?
Pick the one closest to your situation. The underlying evaluation is identical across use cases, so you can start from any page that fits and still get the same review of eligibility, fit, complexity, risks, and recommendation.
Does QualiGrant work differently for each audience?
No. QualiGrant runs the same structured evaluation for every team. The use case pages simply describe how that evaluation applies to each group's typical opportunities and concerns.
Can grant consultants use QualiGrant for client work?
Yes. Consultants can use the evaluation to support early client recommendations and proposal scoping. It is designed to help decide whether an opportunity is worth pursuing, not to replace consultant judgment or final proposal review.
My organization type is not listed. Can I still use QualiGrant?
Yes. QualiGrant works for any team reviewing a grant, RFP, NOFO, or funding opportunity. If you do not see an exact match, choose the closest use case as a starting point.
Is QualiGrant a grant database or grant finder?
No. QualiGrant is built for the stage after you have already found an opportunity and need to decide whether it is worth pursuing. It does not search for or recommend grants.
